Since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Persia (Iran), which brought a fundamentalist religious government to power, women have not been allowed to sing in public. All Persian women singers were forced to end their careers and many of them moved abroad to sing. Hayedeh was one of those who was forced to fled abroad. Revolution and immigration to the West added a new dimension to Hayedeh’s career.
The film was screened at various film festivals in both Europe and the United States. It is now available on DVD.
"Hayedeh: Legendary Persian Diva" (2009) is the first-ever documentary film on this iconic singer.
